Hi all. It's been awhile since I've caught up on my reading and thought I'd comment on a few things. re: male vs female activity. I'd have to agree with Pam Greene. My Pippin is always getting into something, whereas Beren is more laid back. He is bigger and stronger and actually seeks out people to play with more often, but she is always investigating something. I can always find him, but not her, unless I call "dates" or "treats". She seems to appear from nowhere. I've seen my munchkins wag tails when playing in the tube, but until last nite had never heard one of them bark before. I had placed them in their cage and given them their dates (they don't like raisins, but love dates!) when Pippin got too close to Beren's date. He barked at her, grabbed his date and moved over so that she couldn't get it! I laughed...the big dummie put the date there himself and then yelled at her when she got too close! re: car rides My previous two ferrets (Bilbo and Butterscotch) would immediately go to sleep in the pet taxi or on my lap the minute the car engine started. However, Pippen and Beren are another story. Pippin will be active for about 10 minutes before realizing that she might as well go to sleep and the first time in a car she chewed at the pet taxi door the entire time! Beren was going absolutely nuts in the cage. I was afraid that he'd hurt himself the way that he was flinging himself around. Since then, he loves car rides. I allowed to, he'll sit on your lap with his paws on the dash or the window sill and look around. Bilbo used to drape himself around my neck and look out the window. Your furry will calm down - he's young and need to get used to things. Have a great day! Cindy and Beren & Pippin of course! Hugs to all munchkins! [Posted in FML issue 1120]
